Employer Donation Match
Does your employer match contributions or donations that you make to not-for-profit institutions like Southtowns Catholic School?
This is an opportunity to increase contributions to Southtowns Catholic School without any additional cost to you.
Many companies (or parent companies) match contributions made to not-for-profit institutions that have a 501c(3) designation. A 501c(3) institution is one that meets certain IRS guidelines regarding not-for-profit agencies. Southtowns Catholic School meets these guidelines and has a 501c(3) designation.

Call your payroll, personnel or human resource office and try to get a feel for your company's matching gift program by asking the following questions:
- Does the company match contributions made to 501c(3) organizations?
- How is a matching gift paid-annually, quarterly, etc?
- Is there a minimum or maximum that the company will match?
- Does the matching gift program run on a fiscal year?
- What documentation or verification is needed from the individual or the school?
- Are there any forms that need to be submitted?
- What are the timelines for submission for matching grant requests?
- What is needed for proof of payment in order for the not-for-profit to receive the matching grant?
Please take time to call your employer to ask about the matching gift program. It would be a great help to Southtowns Catholic School in these difficult financial times.
